Le Tricolore and Happy Days!

For the ones who are wandering what's with the first part this post's title being in french, "Le Tricolore" is one of the many french nickname of the Montreal Canadiens, Montreal's hockey team. In english, their nickname is the Habs, a short for "habitants" (yes, another french word).

Now you may wonder what does hockey has to do with fashion. The answer: nothing as far as I'm concern. I don't even like hockey. Then why the hockey reference. Well, yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the Montreal Canadiens AND they won their match after loosing their 4 previous matches. Really, they were meant to win on their 100th birthday. Now, I may not like hockey, but I hold, like any other French Canadian and Montrealer, a certain proudness when it comes to that team's past. It is one of the first 6 teams part of the NHL and the only who was founded before the creation of the NHL. It holds the record for the number of Stanley cup won. Some of the greatest player in the history of hockey have played for the Canadiens, such as Maurice "The Rocket" Richard, Jean Béliveau, Guy Lafleur, Ken Dryden and many more. One of it's former player, Henri "The Pocket Rocket" Richard, is the player who won the most Stanley cup. A long time ago, they were the team that every other team feared, especially during the season when they only lost 8 matches in 80 (you wouldn't see that today ¬_¬). So that's why today, to commemorate that great team, my LOTD has the three colors: blue, white and red. The white is mainly on the shoes.

Now, yesterday, I had a major groupie moment. My favorite SL blogger of all time, Alicia Chenaux for the ones who are reading this blog for the first time, saw me at the shoe fair. Well, passed by me but she noticed me! At least according to what she told me on plurk. Anyway... was my major groupie moment and made me overly happy for the rest of the evening, even after I had spent 2000L$ in one day.

Today, also another happy moment. I learned that one of the stores I work for as a PR, Tasty, is going to make Mad Men inspired outfits for Christmas. Since I'm a HUGE fan of the show, the grin on my face was also HUGE when I learned the news. So crap my principle of not blogging stuff from the stores I work for. Both are making great Xmas stuff and I'm gonna blog them! Don't care if some say that I'm biased because I work for them as it is not true! I love Xmas stuff and no one is going to stop me from blogging great Xmas stuff!

Oh, and I also learned this morning that Flickr, if you have a free account, only show the 200 most recent pics on your photostream. As for the rest, it isn't gone and will still appear on blogs if you posted them, but you can't see them anymore on the stream. Hence why I'm now debating with myself wether I should spend on a premium or just shrug and say "at long as they still show up on my blog".
